It's Stampaway Time

Hi Everyone,
As you are reading this, I will probably be teaching or getting ready to teach my Thursday class at Stampaway, it goes from 12:30 - 3:00. I will be back Sunday to show you the cards/projects that I offered this year. Next week I will be trying to get back on track with my usual posts and getting caught up on my projects that I am so far behind on.

So hang in there and I will be back on Sunday to start to catch you up on everything. Have a great week!!

CHF06 - Black White and a color you choose

Hi Everyone,

It's time for the CHF challenge again. Our hostess this time is Michele L  and her challenge theme is Black White and another color of your choice.

I thought I'd use the butterflies background and add a couple of larger butterflies to the front of the card.

Since I think butterflies are so incredibly beautiful, I used the word beautiful also.

I stamped the butterfly background onto white cs using Memento Black Tuxedo ink. Next I layered the stamped image with the green cs and the black cs. I used a Spellbinders Tag to hold the word.

I used some black half pearls to show movement of the butterflies. The butterflies are outline stickers and glittered using micro-fine glitter.

I used:

Butterfly Background  SL1115

Beautiful  LL6004

Green CS, White CS, Black CS

Black Dye Ink

Spellbinders Fancy Tags Three S5-031

Glitter Ritz Transparent Micro fine Glitter - Warm Highlight

Copic Markers - G94, G99

Black Pearls

Butterfly Outline Stickers

Getting Ready for Stampaway

Hi Everyone,
I know you are wondering where I've been. Well last week I was in Chicago attending the CHA event and I must say, I had a blast.

I worked a booth with a friend who was introducing her new bow maker tool. And there was quite a buzz about this new tool. And I must say that I use this tool all the time. It is so easy to make a bow using it.Chances are when you see a bow on one of my posts I used the bow maker. Here is a link to her site. http://craft-deebowz.blogspot.com/ She has posted some pic's and a quick story about her new bow making tool and the CHA convention.


The overall attendance at CHA was down compared to years past. But on the other hand that made getting in to talk to people easy and quick.


It was great to see some of the people I have known for a long time, and to touch base with them and talk about the new things they are intro'ing.


I got back Friday and have been busy finishing up on my Stampaway classes ever since. Phew, was I  farther behind this year than I thought. I will be done by the weekend and then I can get back to my everyday routine.


Next week I have:
At Stampaway
August 1 - Wednesday nite - a Stampaway class at Stamp Your Art Out working with glitter and outline stickers.
August 2 - Thursday @ 12:30 - I have a large class (36 attendees) in this  class that is packed full of 3 really cool projects. 
Here on the blog:
August 1 -  the new monthly Sparkle N Sprinkle Sketch Challenge
August 1  - the next challenge at Cornish Heritage Farms
August  3 and Friday Aug 4. - the Sparkle N Sprinkle Blog Hop -  The theme is Our Furry Friends.

BTW, Sparkle N Sprinkle has added digital stamps to their line up so all you digi lovers will have some really cool digitals to use for the monthly challenges. 


OK  now I have caught you all up on what I've been up to and what's coming next week. Please stop in next week to check out the posts for the challenges and the blog hop while I am at Stampaway. Have a great week and I will be back soon.

CHF05 Summer

Hi Everyone
It's time for the CHF challenge again. Time flies doesn't it. The hostess  is Anne and her challenge theme is SUMMER..

I remember when I was a kid, I rode my bike everywhere, all summer. It was like my car. I just received some new CHF sets and  Bicycle Life was one of them. So I thought I'd go back in time and use this stamp on my card.

I stamped the French Script on to my panel, then stamped the bicycle image over that. Next I added the Spellbinders tag and used the words from my computer. I added some ribbon and some bronze paper and made photo corners and here is my card with my take on the summer theme.
